"Why are you here? When did you come to Luoyang? ”

When Cao De set off from Chang'an, he arranged for Cao Fan to stay in Chang'an and follow Jia Xu to experience the feeling of acting prime minister. However, why did Cao Fan also run to Chang'an?

"Oh! That's right. Jia Shangshu received an invitation letter from his brother, and the child volunteered to come! ”

"What invitation?" Cao De asked rhetorically.

"It's an invitation from Pi Di to succeed King Wei." As he spoke, Cao Fan took out an invitation with a gilded font from his small cuff.

Cao Dehu took it suspiciously, and when he was about to open it, Cao Zhi led Cao Chong out of the city.

"Greetings to my uncle! Brother Pi is preparing for many matters to ascend the throne, and please don't blame your uncle! Cao Zhi was in front, Cao Chong was behind, and he saluted Cao De and said.

"Hmmm! Let's go into town! Cao De said lightly and took Cao Chong's little hand. Chong'er, do you miss your uncle? ”

"Back to uncle, no!" Cao Chong rolled his eyes and said.

"Huh? No? Cao De was stunned!

"Hehe, because my uncle is fighting Liu Bei on the front line. Chong'er only hoped that Liu Bei wouldn't die too happily! ”

"Haha......" Cao Chong said a word, making him laugh out loud. Chong'er shouldn't worry about these fights and killings at a young age. ”

"Uncle! How can the boy of my Cao family only hide in the shadow of his father. Only by fighting in all directions can I show the true colors of my Cao family! ”

"Hmm! Good ambitions! Cao De couldn't help but say. What a man's true colors! ”

"Uncle! Brother Chong is talking nonsense, please forgive my uncle! Cao Zhi was also taken aback by Cao Chong's words, and stepped forward and said,

"Nope! Horses of courses. It's like you Cao Zhi loves poetry and songs, while Zhang'er is enthusiastic about the military. Then, Cao De said to Cao Chong: "Do you want to go to Chang'an for a few days?" If my aunt knew that Chong'er was so smart, she would love it very much, and Scholar Cai was even more happy to have Chong'er inherit the mantle. ”

"Really, uncle?"

"That's natural!" After Cao De touched Cao Chong's head and finished speaking, he said to Pei Yuanshao: "Immediately arrange manpower to send Chong'er to Chang'an to each other." And you, you go back too! Cao De pointed a finger at Cao Fan.

"No, I don't think so. Brother Chong went to Chang'an, accompanied by Brother Rong, Brother Chang, and Brother Sheng. Let the child get close to Brother Zhang and Brother Zhi. After all, it's not easy to meet once! Cao Fan stepped forward and grabbed Cao De's hand as he spoke.

Cao De's eyes moved, "It's okay!" Pei Yuanshao went to arrange it immediately. ”

Cao Chong walked away in a hurry. Pei Yuanshao arranged a hundred personal guards to escort Cao Chong to the west immediately. And Cao De looked at Cao Chong's departing back and suddenly said to Cao Zhi: "Zhi'er, why is there a miasma in this small Luoyang city?" ”

After Cao De finished speaking, he continued to walk towards the city, and suddenly a carriage seemed to rush towards Cao De because the horse was out of control.

"Quick, get out of the way! Get out of the way! The coachman in the carriage yelled and waved his arms.

Cao De frowned, and as soon as he turned around, he dodged. And Pei Yuanshao, who was following behind Cao De, immediately drew out his war knife, saw the opportunity, and slashed the horse's neck with a knife. Later, all the guards followed suit, and a huge horse's head broke away from its body.

"Prime Minister!" After a moment's effort, the groom who was driving was escorted in front of Cao De!

"Prime Minister? Are you Prime Minister Cao? The villain deserves death......"

Cao De looked at the coachman in front of him who kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said coldly: "Take it down!" Bet on it first. ”

Since Cao De didn't inform anyone when he came, Cao Pi didn't think that Cao De would be delayed for so long, so the battle to meet Cao De gradually shrank to Cao Zhi and Cao Chong. And this is exactly what happened this time, which can be said to be an accident or an assassination.

————

"My nephew should die, I didn't expect someone in the city to commit murder to my uncle. Please also punish my uncle! In the Wei Palace, Cao Pi, who was dressed in black, rushed over as soon as he knew about it.

"Hmmm! It's fine, it's just an accident. Don't panic. What are the preparations for the ascension to the throne? Cao De said casually.

"Everything is being prepared."

"Well, you go get busy. I'm going around the house. Cao De quickly issued an eviction order.

"Nephew retires!" Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned around and left after he finished speaking in an aggravated tone.

"Go, bring the coachman." After Cao Pi left, Cao De said to Pei Yuanshao.

Soon, the coachman was brought to Cao De.

"Prime Minister Cao, the villain really didn't mean it......"

As he spoke, the man lifted up his hands that were pressed to the ground. But then Cao De saw three words clearly in the position of his hand.

Cao De looked up, and although the coachman was still begging for mercy, the expression on his face was ......

"Accidents? You didn't come to this prime minister sooner or later, could it be an accident? Cao De spoke, and immediately aggravated his voice.

"Damn the villain, damn the villain! The villain has heard that Prime Minister Cao loves the people like a son, and please ask the prime minister to spare the villain for the sake of the villain's eighty-year-old mother! ”

……

In the end, the poor groom was beaten with twenty boards, and he was carried out of the Wei palace in a faint state.

It's night! Cao De was just about to rest, when someone suddenly came. After a while, Pei Yuanshao knocked on the door gently, "Prime Minister, Prince Pi will invite the Prime Minister to hunt outside the city with the fourth lady and Prince Fan tomorrow!" ”

"Hmmm! Got it! Tell Pi'er that I'll go. ”

On the second day, Cao De got up early, and then walked out of the Wei Mansion with Huang Wudie, Cao Fan, and five hundred personal guards.

As soon as Cao De walked out of the city gate, a person dressed as a eunuch greeted him. "Meet Prime Minister Cao, Pi Gongzi has gone to the hunting ground to wait for the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, please! ”

"Let's go!" Cao De said a word lightly, and the team immediately opened the city gate with hooves.

After everyone left the range of the horse market outside the city, everyone let the horses under their crotches let go. More than 500 war horses, more than 2,000 horses' hooves galloped wildly and hammered the ground, and the rumbling sound pierced out I don't know how far.

Although the hunting grounds are usually set up in sparsely populated wilderness and there are special enclosure signs, Cao De and his party have been running out for nearly thirty miles, and so far Cao De has not encountered any soldiers in charge of patrolling or knights encircling prey.

"Prime Minister, this situation ......!"

In fact, when Cao De was assassinated on the way to Luoyang, Cao De felt that something was wrong.

If he wanted to kill Cao De, Cao De believed that if it weren't for his own life, he would have died a long time ago. But of the six hundred guards who came to Luoyang with him, none of them were injured.

Now, Cao De just wants to find out who it is and who can use Cao Pi to kill him.
